%F Let b(n, i)=i/(n-i+1) and g(n, k)=s[ k ](b(n, 1), b(n, 2), ..., b(n, n)), where s[ k ] is the k-th elementary symmetric function; a(n) = (2n-1)^2 * (2n-2)! * [ g(2n-2, n-1) - g(2n-2, n) ].
%F a_n is the coefficient of x^{n-1} in the polynomial (1-X) prod_{j=0...2n-3}(2n-3-j+jX). [Van der Waerden]
%t a[n_] := Coefficient[ (1-x)*Product[ 2n-1-j+j*x, {j, 0, 2n-1}], x, n]; Table[a[n], {n, 1, 12}] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Jan 23 2012, from second formula *)
